There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
157 MPH--busted!

We call them "organ donors"... :shocked:
my friend is the president of a MC in south florida. They all ride crotch rockets. Their typical speeds are above 150. Its real easy in florida to speed.
I've put my bmw S1200RR up to about 175, never wanted to go much faster than that. My spyder has seen 130mph. But to put that in contrast, i've put my 700hp challenger srt up to 162 (and it could have gone much much faster). My bmw 745li could run at 140 easily without even feeling speed.
Lots of people (look at the comments) like to say mad things about people who go that speed. I'm a fan of speed, and true, you "could" go on a track to reach those speeds, its not the same thing. Few bike riders that go above 150 get into accidents, because they are usually very good at riding. its the slow riders, under 120, that cause and get into accidents, typically because they arent familiar with their bike.
ever pulled a wheelie going 120? fun times.

150 isnt that much. But I prefer cruising around on my 3 wheels now. Running above 140 is more work than fun. 90 on the spyder is a good, fun relaxing ride

Being such a fan of speed (and there's nothing wrong with that), why do you have a spyder?
Never mind, I see it. You don't equate the adrenaline pump of high speed to relaxing.

You REALLY need to take that Spyder to Bonneville in a couple of Months: the World record is "only" about 128 mph...

Equip all residents of senior citizen communities with a Ninja crotch rocket--that'll speed things up a bit. Don't ya think?

There is a time and a place for everything. The interstate is not the place to break speed records on a motorcycle. Both the rider and the public are endangered by this type of activity.
Unfortunately, we see this a lot right on the Glenn Highway (AK HWY #1), which is very close by. There is about a 20 mile stretch of open road between Palmer/Wasilla, and Anchorage.
The crotch rocket riders are usually in packs and those of us doing 70 mph or so are passed like we are standing still when a pack of two or more goes whizzing by. I have also seen this happen on rain slicked roads and wonder "what are they thinking?" They can go pretty good--but what if they have to stop?
There is an on ramp with a bunch of trees, coming out of Anchorage, that has claimed the lives of at least two of these riders within the last three years. Both were riding their vehicles home from the dealers on inaugural rides.
We did have an incident (last summer, I believe) where police had set a trap at one of the overpasses, when they were notified of a pack heading for town. The speeders were successfully stopped and given the appropriate citations.
Not much more to add. :dontknow:

A mechanic at the awful dealer where I bought my Spyder was boasting that he out ran a Highway Patrol helicopter between Barstow and Las Vegas. The next time I went in I asked about his whereabouts. I was told, "He is no longer here." I responded, "Did he get a better job?" The mechanic answered, "No. He died going 130 on his bike on the freeway."
I don't know if he outran the chopper or not. I do know he did not out run the grim reaper.

Just had a fatality here Saturday when a guy tried to outrun troopers on his sport bike. He lost control, ran off the road and hit a road sign. When I was younger and bullet proof I ran my 750 Kawasaki at full throttle all the time. Until a New Mexico Trooper changed my mind. Speed was nothing to me. Either on a bike or in a car, I was bullet proof.
Not so much anymore.

speed thrills------and kills.
Here in Tampa Bay in the past year we have seen 3 thrilling rides in the past year.
1. One riding at a high rate of speed, weaving in and out of traffic, lost control hit a divider flew over the medium, died.
2. Three riders on the bridge running high speed two lost control, one serious, one critical the third left the scene. Really?
3. Rider running high speed, popping wheelies. Pulled a wheelie and slammed into the back of a trash truck.
What a thrill.
